Bollywood Fans Consider These Actors The Most Well Behaved Of The Present Lot

Is your favourite actor in this list?

A lot of Bollywood actors are notorious for their tantrums. From being perennially late to demanding only imported bottled water, we have read hundreds of gossip columns on how they can be nightmares in human form. But as the story goes, there are a couple of stars who are unaffected from the brouhaha of stardom.

1. Nawazuddin Siddiqui

For being soft-spoken and respectful to others

A couple of users named this super-talented actor. According to Shrinath Ghadge, what struck him the most is how Siddiqui dealt with an angry Rishi Kapoor. An upset Kapoor blasted Siddiqui for saying that romantic heroes just run around trees. Kapoor said that Siddiqui is an average actor who does not have the image or the talent to be a romantic hero. Siddiqui humbly responded by saying that he will discover, explore and improve himself as an actor, and that he is actually below average. Another user, Tushar Trin mentions that Siddiqui's response "makes him one of the well behaved actors of Bollywood".

"My childhood dream could not come true, but will definitely be a part of Ramleela next year."

Ghadge adds that after Shiv Sena members protested Siddiqui's participation in a Ramleela programme in Muzaffarnagar, the actor removed himself from the part and said, "My childhood dream could not come true, but will definitely be a part of Ramleela next year."

Ghadge observes that even after being felicitated with many prestigious national as well as international awards, Siddiqui remains "simple and a down to earth man who never forgets his past."

2. Ranbir Kapoor

For his mild demeanour

The prince of the Kapoor clan has made it to this list because of his mild demeanour. Deepak Mandal observes that in most of the talk shows that Kapoor has been a part of, "He remains calm. No overacting and creates a comfortable atmosphere." Mandal adds, "He is a total gentleman and truly knows how to treat women and colleagues!" Though we are not sure how Mandal came to this conclusion, he seems pretty convinced by it.

3. Tiger Shroff

For being hardworking, humble and polite

Fans consider Shroff a quiet and polite man. Avinash Hiremath writes that unlike other actors who are surrounded by controversies, Tiger Shroff has managed to steer clear of it all. Hiremath observes that Shroff is not only humble but also very hardworking. He adds, "He also holds a fifth degree black belt in Taekwondo. You could see real hardwork in this stunts and action scenes."

The other time, Abhishek Bachchan described Shroff as a quiet, humble and polite kid.

Hiremath cites two scenes from The Kapil Sharma Show where Shroff had made an appearance to strengthen his argument. Once when Shroff appeared on the show and touched the feet of both Kapil Sharma and Navjot Singh Sidhu, which according to the user seemed unlike how a star kid would behave. The other time, Abhishek Bachchan described Shroff as a quiet, humble and polite kid.

4. Nana Patekar

For giving back to society in whatever way he can

People are no stranger to Nana Patekar's humble roots and his philanthropic ways. Mash Gahlot observes that Patekar like a simple "farmer life when he is not working" and helps people in need. When he came to the show, Aap Ki Adalat, the audience gave him a standing ovation and anchor, Rajat Sharma, said that in all these years, Patekar was the only star to be honoured this way. Gahlot says that Patekar lives in a farm near Pune and he greets every villager by their names.

Gahlot adds, "I have never seen any celebrity who lives like this."
